    WOW this is bad.

    There is nothing redeeming about this film. First you have to get past the fact that the main character looks exactly like Barry Manilow. Then try to ignore the bad acting-and even that is boring. I can usually get a laugh out of it, or at least the cheesy effects, but here it just seems like a bunch of robots bump into each other on screen for about 90 minutes. Forget the plot-this movie is about Interstellar STD's. One last question: Whose 12 year old kid designed the sets?

    Remember... always take precautions.

    A jobbing character actor like Patrick Macnee probably couldn't have afforded to be too picky when it came to work in the 80s, but he really should have said no to his pointless role in this piece of garbage, a Charles Band produced sci-fi/horror that is surely a career low-point for all involved.

    Apart from the sets, which were recycled from other slightly better films, pretty much everything about this film is cheap and nasty; but worse than that, it is extremely boring—hard to believe with a crazy plot that features a sexy space succubus who infects the film's hero with a deadly STD, causing him to turn into a sex-mad, slime-covered monster.

    There is some gratuitous female nudity during the bump 'n' grind scenes (which is always nice) and we even get a little gore towards the end of the film, but with much of the film consisting of dull conversation between characters, and nothing in the way of decent scares or action, this is very hard going. I'm a fan of Z-grade movie-making and, over the years, have developed a high tolerance for the worst kind of rubbish, but this turgid mess really tested my patience.

    Not as good as Species II

    If you're a fan of movies about space STDs then this is a good one to check out. People have sex, then die. A good helping of goopy rubber effects, pretty standard for the era. Not one of Empire Picture's best movies, but worth checking out if you watch it to kill a Sunday afternoon like I did. I kinda just wanted to make my "Species II" comment in the header, that movie certainly tops "Transformations" in terms of being a bizarre alien-sex fueled gorefest.

    Star wars with stds

    Idk the world building was pretty intricate and the priest character was well done, a good tale of tragic overadhearance to a feigned morality. Good gore, boobs, acting is ass

    Like a bad 80's daytime tv show with goo

    Apart from the acting its not bad, as far as B grade horrors are concerned. Man contracts space herpes which turns people into mutant freaks. Then he ends up on a unisex prison planet which doubles as a slave mining planet.

    The characters don't know much of what is going on as the prison operates with next to no trained medical staff and just a bunch of bad acting nazi like prison guards. Patrick Macnee plays a psychic preacher who interprets the whole event being a product of evil. Is he right?

    All hell breaks loose when a visiting supply vessel needs to dock for fuel as the prison colony attempts to enforce a quarantine and a small group of prisoners attempt an escape. We are meant to care for the protagonist (infectee) and his new girlfriend but I can assure you you won't care what happens to them.

    What's annoying is watching the characters invert their points of view like the wind, just like a bad daytime tv show. The set design is pretty cool though in a Blake 7 sort of way. It's just all over the place and as we approach the end of the movie it starts to feel a more and more like a circus but with classical music.

    One of the better B's but its hard to call it under-rated.
